Tumor ablation is a medical procedure used to destroy cancerous tumors without removing them surgically. It employs various techniques, such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, or cryotherapy, to target and kill tumor cells. These methods can be guided by imaging technologies like ultrasound or CT scans to ensure precision. This treatment is often chosen for patients who may not be suitable for traditional surgery due to health issues or the tumor's location. Tumor ablation can help reduce tumor size, alleviate symptoms, and improve the quality of life for patients with certain types of cancer.
